"Says Who?"


When reading a newspaper one thing you should ask yourself is "Says Who?" You should not always trust everything you read because you think that it is reliable. Although it should be, it may not always be. Good journalists should know how to cite a person accurately and should print only true facts and stories but there can be cases in which a writer may not be telling the whole truth. So you should read carefully and ask yourself who are the sources? and where did they get the information that they are giving? You should be a critical reader analyzing everything you read. If you do not do this you will fall for anything. You do not want to be the person who is ignorant because of information that was falsely fed to them. Do not just take any information to be true, as a good reader always be critical and skeptical. Test the writer and ask yourself if it sounds reliable.
